        In George's comeback it was obvious that he was calculating how much power to use just to win not to beat the guy up, now you would have to have AWESOME power to even think that way.

          I just saw that fight tonight one of those ESPN channels. It just amazes me how Ali could take some of those shots from Foreman. What a chin Ali had.

            Indeed. No one could take a punch better than Muhammad Ali.

                  a chin is a ****in chin. there probably ppl in the world they dont know **** about boxin but they got a good chin. there r opponents that go the distance with super stars that were no bodies. jus cause your a good puncher that does nt mean it comes with an excellent chin ne also. ne 1 can have a good chin
